Man the way Denzel tosses his shirt, spits on the ground. And then you see all those whip marks on his back from previous whippings. He took that whopping like a G.......

gbear Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Dead Man Walking - You have to understand though. This wasn't a tear jerker because I am left wing nut (I am). It was emotional for me because I saw it the summer after one of my two best friends had been abducted and raped at knife point (lucky as all to live). The trial was in the spring, and I was watching the movie alone in the summer. It was hard to watch because the movie forced me to think about how much my hatred was hurting me. The things I wanted to do to that guy...the things my roommate and I probably would have done had we caught him instead of the cops...the things the group of us decided we would do if he was found innocent and we drew the short straw. The hatred still burns a slow simmer, but I shunt it away and try to use the energy towards more healing avenues for me, for my wife and kids and for others unable to find the help they need. I still haven't found the healing the lucky family in the movie found, but I avoid the internal death of the other family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to take my grandkids when it first came out, but now I'm glad they didn't see a "grandma breakdown". I guess I'll have to see it after all. It's just about the most wrenching 10 minutes of film ever created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Sean Penn... I Am Sam. If that movie doesn't just kill you on the inside, you're not human. jmho, of course, but that was a performance worth a thousand Oscars. ~Oh, and then there's the one with Walken...when he was married to Madonna, ??????????? Absolutely outstanding work in the "feels" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 For me, it's Sophie's Choice. That movie has haunted me since I saw it. I have the DVD, but can't bring myself to watch it again, yet. I will at some point, when I have time to and when I'm in a good frame of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I want to add The Fox and The Children's Hour, two movies where the Lesbian dies. Made me deny myself for years because bad things happen to homosexuals. Then I got over that thought because I had to be me or die because of that.

It's such a powerhouse performance from Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon kills it in a role I would not have imagined for her. A lot of Sean Penn movies are very moving. Milk and Mystic River come to mind too. Penn can draw blood from a stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grego Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Good call on Interstellar and especially Schindlers List, and Atonement. Good lord those last two were just gut wrenching. The lovely bones was pretty awful in that way. It was apparently so bad at screenings, they had to change the ending so (spoiler alert, but not really cuz they never find out who did it) the Stanley Tucci character dies. Got a little creeper watching 'a dogs purpose' the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Marley and Me - you knew damn well ahead of time the dog was going to die, but get sucked in anyway!!! Seven - not sure if it was just the mind screw at the end of it or what but after the first time watching it, just remember thinking WTF? The Notebook - not sure why, but must be getting softer at an older age. On a more serious note, Shindler's List and the Green Mile. Really powerful movies.

MarkB452 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 D-Day landing at the beginning of Saving Private Ryan...I had an uncle who landed with the 29/116 that day.

TheGoodBits Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 One that hasn't been mentioned: Click Went in expecting to see a stupid Adam Sandler movie and it just punched me in the gut. Interstellar and Green Mile are two others for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 This thread reminds me of the "Affair to Remember vs. Dirty Dozen" scene from Sleepless in Seattle" I shouldn't talk, though. I'm a softie.

skinny21 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Wore a collared shirt to the theater to see Schindler's List. By the time it ended the collar was soaking wet from wiping away tears. That and Dead Poets Society were the first two movies that really elicited a ton of emotion from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The one I have gotten grief fro recommending because it has left friends teary is Life is Beautiful. I tell them they should not have expected a cheerful end to a Holocaust movie even much of it is a funny movie. At least the boy got his ride in a tank.

Chew Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Dead Man Walking was the first movie that ever made me cry. Sarandon and Penn were magical on screen together, the best film of both of their careers. That final scene, man. Powerful stuff. Jesus. The Boy In The Striped Pajamas was tough on the feelbox as well. Far as animated (well, clay animation), if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend Mary & Max. Amazing movie and very emotional. Toni Collette and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. If there were a "top 25 movies since 2000 that many people haven't heard of," Mary and Max is top 5.
